Garden State Soundtrack

While the movie is not one of my favorites, the soundtrack for Garden State is pretty spectacular. Nothing really new or trailblazing, just a really great collection of songs. Here's the tracklist:

1. Don't Panic - Coldplay
2. Caring Is Creepy - The Shins
3. In The Waiting Line - Zero 7
4. New Slang - The Shins
5. I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You - Colin Hay
6. Blue Eyes - Cary Brothers
    7. Fair - Remy Zero
    8. One Of These Things First - Nick Drake
    9. Lebanese Blonde - Thievery Corporation
    10. The Only Living Boy In New York - Simon & Garfunkel
    11. Such Great Heights - Iron and Wine
    12. Let Go - Frou Frou
    13. Winding Road - Bonnie Somerville

I love The Shins and pretty much everything they do and the Iron & Wine cover of Such Great Heights was one of my favorite songs of 2003. Also fantastic is Let Go by Frou Frou, which I hadn't ever heard before and have been listening to a lot since getting this soundtrack. While I'm talking about music, here's my five favorite albums for the year so far: Moonbabies - The Orange Billboard, Kings of Convenience - Riot on an Empty Street, Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand, Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous, The Killers - Hot Fuss (Erlend Oye - DJ Kicks would make the top 5 but I don't think mix albums can be compared to LPs)
